Any SWLC bandsters out there??



Recommended Posts

Hello

I'm going on the 16th for my consultation.

I talked to 2 other clinic"s and seem pretty confident in SWLC.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

I was banded on Oct 1 at SWLC, very very happy with the procedure and the results, so far. Very professional, and very caring. I even attended a Christmas dinner that the support group organized, and both drs. from the clinic attended and were more than happy to talk to everyone(over 60 people were there). The follow up care is also very good, and the clinic itself in terms of success has amazing statistics. You should be very comfortable going there.

All the best to you.

Was banded at SWLC in Aug 2007. I nothing but good things to say about the clinic. The docs are very competent as surgeons, and everyone at the clinic seems to really genuinely want me to succeed. A bunch of us got together for dinner last week, and the docs came too.

I was banded by the SWLC back in April/06 and can't say enough good things about my surgeon Dr. Chris Cobourn and the clinic.

I also hosted the Bandster dinner last Thursday night at The Pickle Barrel and it was great seeing Michee again and meeting MacPherk. It was a fun night!

Definitely check out the SWLC website and message forum for support and to ask any questions.

Best wishes,

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
